Chapter 382 - 134: Heavy Snow_4
Doctor Li gave Heping a cold glance and did not answer his words, but instead said to Guan Jingshuo, "If that booklet is of no use, return it to this old man."
Guan Jingshuo thought the booklet was a valuable item, "Doctor Li, I haven’t finished studying it yet. I’ll return it to you once I’ve learned everything."
Doctor Li nodded, "Alright, I’ll come for another consultation in a month. The fee will be one hundred silver notes." A fool wouldn’t slaughter a fat head; with these one hundred silver notes, he could go to the Eight Immortals Restaurant today and enjoy the best wine and dishes.
Guan Jingshuo dutifully paid the one hundred silver notes as the consultation fee.
After receiving the silver note, Doctor Li returned to the back hall, murmuring as he walked, "Today, I’ll enjoy good wine and dishes again; how comforting."
Heping was exasperated, thinking that this was no doctor but rather a drunkard. Guan Jingshuo, smiling, said, "If Doctor Li doesn’t mind, I would like to invite you to the Eight Immortals Tower,"
Doctor Li made a face of disdain, "Why would I need your invitation? I’m not a beggar. I have money." With that, he left.
Guan Jingshuo watched Doctor Li’s departing figure and smiled, finding such people rare in the world. Many doctors liked to ingratiate themselves with the powerful to gain fame, but this man, though peculiar, was not a sycophant. Doctor Li’s medical skills were exceptional, and his conduct was carefree; Guan Jingshuo greatly admired him.
Guan Jingshuo returned to the Marquis’ household and showed Marquis Yongding the new prescription prescribed by Doctor Li. Marquis Yongding nodded, "Since it is useful, follow his method."
